Rotate 2D profiles in Autodesk Inventor along the X,Y,Z Axis

[HORTEN229]

New to inventor...
After you import 2D DWG/DXFprofiles in Inventor how do you rotate them along the X,Y,Z Axis?
This is easy in AutoCAD but I can only rotate the 2D profile in inventor along the axis in was imported on... (HELP)

Project an axis (or draw a centerline) and use this as your rotatation axis.

Thanks for the tip,
I have one more question that you may be able to help me with.
I have software that I use to generate aircraft wing profiles (Profilie)(RC aircraft hobby)
This program allows me to export 2D profile in a DXF format that I can import into Inventor or AutoCAD
My problem is when I import the 2D profile into Inventor it has a list of problems that do not allow the sketch to be lofted without fixing them. (sketch doctor YUCK!!)
(the 2D profile has over 100+ line segments in them)
What can I do better to get a sketch that has no issues?
My goal is to loft all the different 2D sections together.

There is a macro that allows you to import coordinates into Inventor. Many people use this for airfoils.
